A single continuous image
Asphalt Flower is a frieze book, a leporello — a huge single image that creates a "second Nature". The work revisits the idea of landscape as a garden, expressing what connects humans to nature: an iconic place for the cycles of life (growth, flowering and decline) and a reflection of the society that shapes it. Superimposed images of flowers symbiotically entering asphalt forms reveal a surface that has encapsulated nature since biblical times and can no longer be separated from it — nature and culture inextricable, one becoming the other. The composition takes form between the idea of a world heading towards natural disaster and a future struggling to maintain the force of resilience and resistance.
